Unions and ministers are being urged to start talks after a pay breakthrough with other NHS workers.
The junior doctors' pay dispute is far from resolved with the BMA calling for a 35% pay rise, which it argues will reverse 15 years of cuts.
Following Thursday's breakthrough, Health Secretary Steve Barclay called for the junior doctors to call off industrial action and enter into talks, saying the request for a 35% pay rise was "not affordable". Letters have been exchanged in the past 24 hours between Mr Barclay and the BMA but as yet no agreement has been reached on starting talks.
And Sir Julian Hartley, the head of NHS Providers, added there must be "urgent movement on talks" and said both sides needed to "redouble" the efforts.
